🏉 Keeping the Game Moving Across the Coast
From school ovals to stadium fields, the Gold Coast Rugby League Referees Association (GCRLRA) is behind every kick-off, whistle and fair call. With over 250 games played each week and more than 5,000 players on the field, their team of referees is essential to the sport’s success across the region.
Nerang RSL is proud to continue its three-year partnership with GCRLRA into 2026 — supporting the training, development and equipment needs of this dedicated team. Our funding contributes to referee uniforms, on-field gear and ongoing education programs that help shape the next generation of elite officials.
Whether you’re a former player, a junior looking for a pathway, or simply passionate about the game, GCRLRA offers opportunities for people of all ages to stay involved in rugby league. Their commitment to professionalism, inclusion, and community sport ensures every game is played in the right spirit — and with the right people on the sidelines.
As part of this partnership, the Nerang RSL logo proudly features on every referee jersey — seen across competitions ranging from junior grassroots to senior rep squads and cultural carnivals.

🦈Building Skills, Confidence & Community
Parkwood Sharks Rugby League Club is kicking goals for the next generation — creating inclusive, supportive pathways for junior players and growing the game from the grassroots up.
With over 200 members and a strong family ethos, the Club approached Nerang RSL for help purchasing new footballs and equipment bags. These essentials might not make the headlines, but they’re critical for day-to-day development — ensuring young players have the tools they need to train hard, play safe and grow in confidence.
We’re proud to support this Gold Coast sporting staple once again in 2025.
And if you’re a local footy fan, there’s an easy way to show your support — Parkwood Sharks are part of our Helping Hand Initiative. Every Monday night, $5 from every main meal sold in Gallipoli is donated back to the Club. So grab a bite and back your team.
